It was the occasion of the third an- nual Police Media Day to improve relations between the two groups.

In answer to complaints from Dean Chevalier and Gary Ennett from Radio 98, Detective Sergeant Bernie Crane said "At times you may think we are suppressing information, but 00 occasion early release would hinder our investigation." Corporal John Stephens of the OPP News Bureau said he would be en- couraging his staff to be more co- operative with the media. Sergeant Larry Robinson of the London city police and OPP Con- stable Eric McFadden reported on the recently established Crime Stop - United Church Rev. Shaule continuing his teachings on a thankful and joyfull heart took his text from Samuel II chapter six at Lucan United Church Sunday morning. It reads "David danced and leaped with joy before the Lord" when he had returned the Ark of the Covenant to its rightful place. This was David's way,we may be speechless with joy, others may shed tears for the same reason, but some emotion was certainly called for. Soul's daughter found this behaviour unacceptable for a king and criticism followed. This was one of David's good days, he knew depression, he listened to the -drum beat of the world and lost the sweet music from !leaven many times; but God was "there all the time". • Today, our worship services offer lively, spirited, happy hymn singing, a warm friendly atmosphere with a loving, caring church family and a Ileavenly Father who really cares about each one of us.

That is the day they will join 203 other disabled and critically or terminally ill children from London and area for an action -packed day which will begin with a flight to Florida, continue with a whirlwind tour of Disney World, and end with a flight back home that night. - Both youngsters cope with cerebral palsy: Regena 'informs her parents each night that she is going to see Florida before they do. Marty has wanted to go to Florida ever since his father Terry visited the Sunshine State last year. "Going to Florida has been Marty's dream", explained his father Terry. Making seriously ill and disabled children's dreams come true is the goal of The Sunshine Foundation. The October trip is the first one organiz- ed and sponsored by the newly form- ed first Canadian chapter in London, and the twentieth such flight for the Philadelphia-based,non-profit Foun- dation. The more than $150,000 cost of the trip is being entirely paid by the U.S. division of the Sunshine Founda- tion as a way of launching the first Canadian chapter. -The 205 children, accompanied by about. 130 volunteers including nurses. nursing . assistants and physiotherapists, will. fly from Lon- don in three chartered Boeing 727s.

Paul had been the one to first draw his parents' attention to the work of the Sunshine Foundation.

Kids KIub presents Sunday puppet show Assistant pastor Pieter Schinkleshoek led the song service Sunday morning. Several of the Kids' Klub. presented a puppet show talking about the coming Kids' Karnival to be presented Tuesday October 27. Rev. Roger Mason ministered from Mark 8:27-35, concerning not being mindful of the things of God. Every- day a Christian needs to get the direc- tion of God on how to conduct his day. Our ideas of running our day may not be God's way. Our beliefs may not be accurate according to what the Bible teaches. God can refine our beliefs to what His truths are in His word. The word of God will weed out of our minds what should not be there. Sunday evening Rev.

Mr. Glenn Pollock read a prayer he wrote of his repentance. Mr. Drake Connor confessed his faith in Christ. All these are adherents of Lucan Revival Centre, From Parkhill Harvest Pentecostal Church came Mrs. Janice Leslie, who said she had turned to God in her life. Dick Devries first heard the gospel at Lucan Revival Centre when a guest .speaker was speaking. Back in Parkhill Rev. Rowley asked him one Sunday to go up for prayer, and as he said, God got him. He at first resisted being baptized, but his Sunday School encouraged him. John Leslie, the Sunday School, teacher told how he learned the gospel from a travelling Mennonite preacher. He started digging into the Bible and from studying the Sunday' School lessons, he realized the impor- tance of setting the example in being baptized. Rev. Mason and Rev. ' Rowley baptized each after they gave their testimony. • After the service a time of fellowship and refreshments was en- joyed in the Fellowship Hall of the church. Upcoming events • October 27 - Kid's Karnival, at 7:30 p.m. Puppet shows and skits presented by the Kid's Klub. All welcome.. tre and the Eastet Seals Society were asked to help find children for the trip. The children, with a broad variety of illnesses and disabilities, were mat- ched up with each other and with the volunteers who will accompany them. No volunteer will have more than four children in his or her grou . , and some will have only one. More than 90 of the children are in wheelchairs. Some are blind, and eight need daily physiotherapy. The children's disabilities and il- lnesses restricted the trip to a one -day affair. It will be a day they will never forget, the day their, dreams came true.
